We met last Sunday at Billabong garden centre and the gods certainly put it on for us, not only was the weather super, the lovely people at Billabong allowed us use of a lovely shaded spot with table overlooking the spring blossoms and meanderings of their customers. I urge everyone to hurry out there ASAP and buy some goodies.
Lots to talk about being our Seedy Sunday, we organised our seeds into those for selling and those for our group's use, we decided that the our list of seeds will be distributed and any one wanting them will send a stamped self -addressed envelope to Carley. the market will also continue to be a place to swap or available for purchase. Dec, Jan & Feb markets not worth doing however. Seed packets are available to download. some great ideas for next years meetings were discussed as well, anyone wanting a garden working bee, ideas for meetings or volunteering their backyard is more than welcome.
Derek brought along a big bag of new Zealand Spinach and lots of bok choi and tatsoi and fennel seeds all of which we will use at market. He was also appointed the group's authority on Chinese greens and over the growing season will hopefully have some seeds and lessons to share. Jenny was very excited on propagating some of the Marina Di Choggia pumpkins for growing on to sell at markets ... "In the time I was away My Di Choggia pumpkin came up further and a mate joined him. Very exciting stuff. Eggs, Chinese greens and lettuces were exchanged and we bid happy gardening till next time.....Carley
